Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Prusa at Free against OpenWebUI's $2.99. Prusa also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). OpenWebUI's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
